Abstract:
A systematic study of (1–x)Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3–xBiFeO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) was performed by combining dielectric, ferroelectric and electromechanical measurements with structural and microstructural characterization in order to investigate the strengthening of the relaxor properties when adding BiFeO3 into Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 and forming a solid solution.
